Another morning made by a release from one of my all-time favs: sebastiAn. SebastiAn is finally releasing his album titled “Total” in May, and I couldn’t be more excited! He (along with the rest of the Ed Banger crew) have been at the top of my list since I knew what electronic was. I love when DJs put together albums because you really don’t see that often at all. SebastiAn has always had a thing with the way his bass hits that I’ve never seen recreated. His sounds and melodies cut right through you. More on the dark side, but yet still puts me in a good mood. I’m really happy with “Embody,” though. It’s the sebastiAn we want to hear, just new. Oh and that picture is him kissing himself, which is probably going to be his album art. Is that gay? Enjoy.

I know I just posted on these guys a few days ago, but they felt my appraisal and threw another remix together a couple days later. I was gonna put this and the delightful treat in the YOLO list coming up, but there’s so much this week that I didn’t want to overwhelm you. So Kids at the Bar decided to add one more banger to their résumé this week. This time they put a ravey spin on Glasnost‘s originally disco-funky track, “Corridor.” Adding a plethora of heavy bass and synth that’s a treat in itself. My only qualm is that it doesn’t drop with a slamming snare the second time around..kinda plateaus when it has much more potential. You’ll see.

I heard this song for the first time at Hard Haunted 2010 and it came back into my life in their Warehouse Project video. I was happy to find that it’s been released, but not in its entirety…don’t know when or if we’ll get the whole thing, but this is sick as fuck. The glitchy wobble leaves me speechless every time.

Justice is hyping the hell out of their new song, and at first it was making me worried…but a little faith goes a long way. Behind this commercial you can hear the funky bass lines and hard hitting snares that we’ve been without for almost 4 years. Counting down the days for these guys to make their come back. As they quoted on their status:

Another unexpected treat just hit the internet this morning, and it’s the kinda thing that effects the rest of the day..Calvin Harris uploaded a video for his new track “Awooga” that has footage of his recent Australian tour with Rihanna. There’s something about Calvin’s songs that always hits home, makes you forget about your worries and want to get down and dirty for a quick min. You can tell this guy has been through a bunch of bullshit, and yet still manages to dgaf and enjoy life anyway. I don’t know if the footage from the video is his liveset or what, but I NEED to see that set up one day. Anyway, the song isn’t the usual Calvin we’re used to hearing, but has the similar sound and bounciness that we love. Another thing that puts it apart from his older tunes is that he’s not singing…let’s hope he doesn’t make a habit of this. Meanwhile, I’m lovin’ it!

Another YOLO list native, Kids at the Bar, makes their way back on your weekly melting pot of Grade A sounds. I first heard these guys back when Chronic Mncher told me about the remix album of Daft Punk’s Human After All, aptly named Remix After All. After shuffling through some mediocre-at-best renditions of the originals, I landed on “Technologic (Kids At the Bar Remix).” After a few seconds you start to wonder if these guys are here to fuck around, and at about one minute you realize in fact, that, no..they’re not. Their sound encompasses some of the grimiest raved-out synths you can come by, much like that of Bloody Beetroots. They’re fairly liberal when it comes to hard hitting bass, and it all comes together in the best way possible. KATB still manages to stay lighthearted with their own versions of over-remixed indie greats like Empire of the Sun and Passion Pit. These guys are fairly consistent with their remixes/edits, and when it clicks, the music takes over. The only things that are missing are a warehouse, about 2-300 people, fog lights, and lasers…I can only imagine how fun it would be to catch these guys live.

I’ve been getting more and more into the hip-hop realm now that +Jangbar has me covered on the latest and greatest, and DJ Kue‘s spin on this chart topper takes it more up my alley..I feel kinda weird using that phrase but you know what I mean. Anyway, California’s own DJ Kue is getting a lot of rightfully deserved praise by DJs like Kissy Sell Out, Bloody Beetroots, Pete Tong and others. With a glitchy style that drops into nasty headbanging glory, he’s on par with Porter Robinson, Wolfgang Gartner, and Feed me. A style that’s pretty much just a combination of all the rising sub-genres of electronic. Artists are churning out more and more of these combo-bangers every week. Although this’ll make it harder for DJs to stand out, I can’t get enough. Keep em coming! Scope his soundcloud for more.

Had to get a quick post out before my midterm. This week’s been stressful as fuck, but this isn’t a place for complaining. This is a place to get raped. Yes. Raped by the massive wave of good music that I’ve been stumbling on lately. This song “Feelings for You” in particular…the original and respective remixes. A vocal sample that trumps all that I’ve ever heard in any house song (except for the Moonchild remix of “Physical”). I love the vocal samples in house songs. Always uplifting. Always trying to share the pain, telling you you’re not alone. This song will have you singing with it at the top of your lungs. No homo, but seriously. This song is sure to be a house anthem for decades to come.

This throws me off though…Avicii and Sebastien Drums took this song and undoubtedly beefed it up to have a more big room, housy feel and titled it as (Original Mix) like it’s their song. Cassius created this groundbreaking original, and I don’t want anyone to think otherwise. These pioneers of house music shouldn’t have been left out of the title, but what do I know. Regardless, I’ll tell you what I know: this song jams…and this video is tight as hell:
